Here’s a note I shared with our team a year ago at XMTP Labs about where we are at as a startup. Something I still think about today but I thought I’d share it with the world. 

Love any feedback.

Excellent read Shane! Definitely a few quarrels in there as a few others mentioned lol.

Once I got a grasp on what XMTP is aiming to achieve, I quickly became an advocate.

As I was reading, I also understood that killing the app would likely be a better outcome for you all to service the developer base more.

Sharing lucid thoughts at the intersection of culture & the cutting edge.

The analogy I think of here is marketing to the state school board for a direct pipeline to all of their schools/universities, versus marketing to each one of the universities independently.

Yes, I speak up XMTP to platform devs, yet I find that I’m more often advocating on your behalf when speaking to other protocol devs.

I see XMTP as a “protocol for protocols” opportunity. Positioning for a foundational level, making it a no brainer for platform devs to include it, that use these other protocols.

Also I that meant to say quotables*** pardon lol — spellcheck got ahead of me & I didn’t catch it 😂
